v1.4.0 GUİ UPDATE!

🌡️ ThermalWatch v1.4.0 — The Fluent GUI Update

ThermalWatch reaches its definitive final form in this release! Version 1.4.0 brings a premium, native-feeling Windows 11 Fluent design language to your hardware thermal guardian, making it look as good as it performs.

🎨 What's New in v1.4.0

🖥️ 1. Modern Left-Sidebar Navigation Layout

• Replaced the old top-tab interface with a sleek left-sidebar navigation panel featuring custom Unicode icons and dynamic vertical page-state indicators.
• Widened window size to a comfortable 680x550 for elegant, breathable spacing.

🎛️ 2. Premium Fluent Cards & CTkSwitches

• Settings are now organized into Fluent Rounded Cards (corner_radius=12).
• Sleek Dark Theme: Premium gray-black backgrounds (#242424) and subtle border outlines (#2e2e2e in dark mode) match native Windows 11 dark mode.
• Replaced old-fashioned checkboxes with modern, responsive toggle switches (CTkSwitch).

🚨 3. Dynamic Widget Border Warning Glow

• The frameless desktop widget now has a status-aware accent glow.
• If CPU or GPU temperatures cross your defined limits, the widget border glows Yellow (warning zone) or Red/Pink (limit breached) instantly to alert you without distracting windows.
• Removed the double-click-to-close behavior on the widget to prevent accidental closure during drag-and-drop.

🛡️ 4. Deep Windows 10/11 Integration

• Taskbar AppID Registration: Implemented a unique Windows AppUserModelID shell registration. This forces Windows to group instances correctly and display the custom icon.ico logo on the taskbar instead of the default Python/Tkinter logo.
• Auto-UAC Manifest: Embedded a manifest requiring Administrator privileges (uac_admin=True) into the compiled executable so it automatically prompts for elevation on double-click launch.

🤖 5. Asynchronous In-App AI Telemetry Advisor

• Integrated the diagnostics panel with an output textbox directly in the AI Advisor page.
• Telemetry diagnostics now run in a background thread to prevent UI freezing, showing a loading indicator (🤖 Gathering data...) while processing.
